Nachtwald was a recruiting world for the Lions Sable Chapter, which was part of the Dark Angels' Unforgiven.[1]
When the Lions Sable were lost in the Forgotten Wars, the Dark Angels ceded control of Nachtwald to the Angels of Vengeance and the Angels of Retribution in order for them to rebuild their numbers from the massive losses they also suffered in the Forgotten Wars.[1] It is now primarily used by the Angels of Absolution Chapter.[2]

Trivia
Nachtwald consists of the German words "Nacht" meaning night and "Wald" meaning forest, i.e. the world's name can be translated as "Nocturnal Forest" etc.
